About This Item
Burlington: Edward Smith. (Successor to Chauncey Goodrich.), 1832. [From the University Press]. Octavo. 32 pp., stitched without original printed wrappers; quite foxed, else very good.
First edition. John Kendrick Converse (1801-1880) was a Dartmouth student who left for financial reasons to teach in Nottaway County, Virginia. Converse graduated from Hampden-Sidney College in Virginia in 1827. He subsequently received the degree of A.B. from Dartmouth and graduated from the Princeton Theological Seminary in 1832.
That year, Converse was installed as pastor of the Congregational faith in Burlington, Vermont. "Having seen much of the workings of slavery during his residence in Virginia, and being thoroughly interested in the welfare of the colored race, he early took strong interest in the American Colonization Society, and in the Republic of Liberia, as affording a solution of the great southern problem. He was the active secretary of the Vermont Colonization Society for over twenty-five years... he was the agent of the American Colonization Society for Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and northern New York, speaking in many pulpits, raising funds and devoting himself to the work of the Society with characteristic earnestness and success."
